Messi greatest player in history? Ronaldo decided

Asked in the street, Ronaldo replied that Messi deserved to be considered the best player in history.

For many, the debate around the greatest player in history has been settled since Argentina’s victory at the 2022 World Cup, crowning Lionel Messi of the only great trophy that was missing from his immense career. The debate was once again reignited when the Argentinian won his 8th Ballon d’Or on October 30.

For Ronaldo, winner twice (in 1997 and 2002) of the prestigious award, Messi is indeed the only greatest player in history. Questioned during amateur video, former Brazil international says Messi deserves to be called up “The Greatest” (the best) in the history of football.
